Ragnir wasn't happy with the information he had recieved. He wasn't sure what to make of it. They would have to do what they could. He, Nairi, and Reina would definitaly be going in. Victor probablly would, even after being briefed on the changes. He had instructed that he wanted a specific group of others to escort them. Reina was making sure that they were trained to the level that she wanted.

Victor happdn''t heard the changes to the plan for the take over yet. However he had a funny feeling that something happad changed. "Plans can and will changes due to unexpected action.So best be prepare for the unexpected. But even a Swordmaster isn’t a mentat and can’t see into the future. The future is everywhere." He reasoned to himself, Goss said he would help. So he would still go because he was bound by his word. But for the time being all he could do was wait and keep both his swords and skills sharp. To be honest with this change of plan made the Swordmaster a little eager. In Victor’s eyes if things went as planned it would be dull.

The Swordmaster leaded against a wall as his right hand rubbed the patch over his blinded eye. "if and when we are attacked those that face me will target my blind side." He said to himself that would be the reasonable target area on his body. A small smirk crossed that swordmaster's face causing the inkvine scar to grow along his cheek and lower lip.

A sword is a weapon. The art of swordmanship is the art of killing with a sword. If that is the case what am I as a swordmaster?

Ragnir looks over the layout of the manor. "He had some unidentified guests last night. Soon after, some people left for the northern residence. Am not sure where he is. I have dispatched some people to deal with the northern residence. We will continue to deal with here. Either he is here or we can find out who the unidentified guests were."

"What if the current lord Rabban was one of the people that moved to the northern residence?" Victor asked as he looked up at Ragnir with his good eye. Goss was also worried about these 'guests' that paid house Rabban a visit last night.Who were they and were did they know of the take over about to happened?""I feel uneasy about those unknown guests.” He abmited

Victor didn't know why but something was making the hair on his neck stand on end. Something didn't feel right about this. If it was the current lord Rabban that moved to the northern estate could he have laern about the plot against him.

Ragnir starts to move closer to the front of the room then suddenly stops as Reina motions to him. She leans over and whispers something to him. Ragnir says something in Fremen battle tongue which causes the fremen with him to assume combat stances. "I was going to request Lord Rabban step down peacfully. But I see that isn't going to be an option." Ragnir isn't sure who is involved but he figured he would find out soon enough. The forces at the northern estate should be able to handle things there, though it would likely result in the lord's death. "I assume you represent those that approached my dear relative earlier. Might I enquire your interests in my affairs?"

He noticed the sudden halt and he had been informed from the Prime Father about Fremen battle stances, he made a motion and there was a static sound, then a pop as the image dissolved and a tall, lanky Evito stood up. His mask was down and revealed his black within black eyes and the deep, cracked pale skin that second stage focus gave.

"It is not you that interests us, just House Harkonnen," stated the metallic voice of the assassin. "Abulurd will not fight you, he was instructed to go to his Northern estate and wait for word, one way or the other. If everything has gone right, the Baron is already dead, if not then plan beta will be in effect and it will get remedied. Lorian himself is a sietch brother and gives you this one chance to step away, go home to your deep desert and leave the Harkonnens to us. If you prefer to be more difficult then the other way will be necessary!"

The Evito gave a shrill whistle and eight other assasins seemingly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them.

A knife sided into Victor's hand as he eyed the Evito assassin who now stood where the image of Lord Rabban had been. Victor sighed to himself as he hared the pale creature talk to Ragnir with the metallic emotionless voice of one of its kind. In Victor's mind he wondered Is there anyone in the known Universe that doesn't have the art of Kanly against my house. He wondered.

The Evito said something that made Victor's blood run cold If everything has gone right, the Baron is already dead. A deadly smile came over Victor's face. He would follow his own code in this mater if the Prime Father had killed the sword master’s old master then he would avenge the old Baron's murder and then stay on if House Harkonnen wanted him. If not was back to Ginaz to wait a new contracted with another house.

Victor's ear ached as the whistle that called eight other Assassins of the shadows. A smiled went over his face once again as if he knew something to spite being surrounded and facing death.The Swordmaster liked these long odds. But for now he would wait for Ragnir and friend to make his move.

Ragnir starts to reply when he hears one of the fremen mutter "Then they all die today." Reina suddenly, in full Weirding Way mode, strikes at the the fremen, intent on killing him as quickly as possible. As she does, she disarms him of a las gun. Ragnir engages a companion of the first one as he attempts to activate a shield belt. Nairi issue instructions over a com. "Neutralise shadows." Ragnir starts to have problems with his target til he uses his full training, revealing a high level of skill with the Weirding Way. After the instructions have been issued, several fights break out in and around the building.

----

Elsewhere, to the north, several las gun beams encounter shields. Lord Rabban's northern estate is ground zero for the explosions.

----

After having dispatched his opponent, Ragnir turns to the Evito though he winces as he is informed of what went on to the north. "It looks like neither of us are going to get what we wanted. So I suggest we call it a draw. As to me leaving, Lorian doesn't know my plans, despite what he thinks. Advise him that I would appreciate it if he stayed out of my way. I already have enough ....uneeded problems to deal with it seems."
